This article lists foreign ministers of Prussia.
History
After the creation of the German Empire in 1871, the imperial chancellor was normally also foreign minister of the Kingdom of Prussia. However, during the chancellorship of Prince Hohenlohe (1894–1900), the position was held by the state secretaries for foreign affairs. The main building of the office was at Wilhelmstrasse.
